Seriously surprised.I don’t consider myself a looker, but then I’ve never been my “type” so have struggled to see myself as others do.
I go to the gym regularly but am nowhere near ‘muscle daddy’ status.It helps, undoubtedly, that I live in a big city with a thriving gay population.
I know it would be a very different story if I lived somewhere rural.I don’t really go out on the scene much so I’m grateful we now have the apps, for all their pitfalls.
Maybe I’d feel more invisible in the bars and clubs.I’m not writing this to show off (‘Hey, look at me! Still getting plenty of sex!’), but I do think it’s a valuable message to put out there to younger gay men.
